Yamashita family

Chapter 41 Egg Custard

When Ding's family and Liang's family arrived at Li Qing's house, Wang's and Tian's were busy in the kitchen, while Li Qing and Li Gensheng were in the study and the other in the hall, and they didn't intend to help at all.

The three Li Gensheng brothers are honest and responsible, and they are often oppressed by their own wives when they are at home, but they are all quite machismo people. They believe that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen and will never enter the kitchen.

Even if the Wang family wants to be strong everywhere, Li Gensheng cannot change this point. It is not so easy to change the deep-rooted thinking.

Of course, Li Qing, who studied sage books hard, is even worse, fully interpreting the saying that a scholar is useless, he can do nothing but read.

Li Qing has an elder sister, and Wang's takes care of him, he is completely out of clothes and mouth.

Although Wang is not a very good person, she has to admit that she is also a very virtuous woman in housework, and the house is well organized.

After her sister got married, she now has Tian Shi, a young daughter-in-law who takes her husband as her husband and bears the burden of hard work, so I have to say that Li Qing is really lucky.

Ding has three children, two sons and a daughter. The eldest son has reached the age of marriage. The daughter and the second son are eleven and nine years old.

Mrs. Liang has three daughters and two sons, and she is the most fertile in this family. Because of this reason, Mrs. Wang couldn't stand before the family was separated. She only gave birth to one daughter and one son, and Li Qing was born. When Li Gensheng had dystocia and broke his body, he could no longer have a son and a half for Li Gensheng.

The ancients paid attention to having more children and more blessings. Being able to give birth means you are blessed, and you have more right to speak at home. Li Qing's grandfather is simple and honest, but Li Qing's grandma is very shrewd. She will not think that her daughter is a loser. On the contrary She prefers her daughter more.

Therefore, she did not show the slightest dissatisfaction with the eldest daughter-in-law who had only one son after giving birth to three daughters in a row. She teased her granddaughter happily every time, which made Liang very grateful and respected this mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

Liang's children are all married. The three girls were married a few years ago. The two sons are the eldest son and two children, a boy and a girl. The younger son gave birth to a daughter last year. There are holding and hugging.

Mrs. Wang saw so many adults and children coming, although she felt uncomfortable, she still greeted everyone to enter the house with a smile on her face. Because she asked for help, Mrs. Wang was very gentle and amiable today.

"Quick, come in and sit down." Wang was smiling all over her face, she didn't know how warm and hospitable she was.

When Ding saw Wang's face, he immediately knew that today's meal must not be so easy to digest. I am afraid that Wang's request is not small. Wang will only be so generous when he wants to make others vomit blood.

"We are all a family, and the second sister-in-law is still so polite to us, do you want me to help?" Ding smiled heartily, showing no dissatisfaction with Wang at all.

"No, you just go and sit in the house. My daughter-in-law and I will be ready soon, and we can have dinner soon." After seeing the child in the arms of the second niece and daughter-in-law Zhou, he yelled at the kitchen, " Mrs. Tian, ​​stew some egg custard for Xiao Niuniu."

"Hey, I see." Tian's voice came from the kitchen.

Ding's youngest son Fu Geer, Liang's eldest grandson Lin Geer and granddaughter Da Niu Niu all looked at Wang anxiously. If there is Xiao Niu Niu, don't they have it?

Fu Geer is nine years old this year, and he was favored at home, and he never stopped eating egg custard, so when he heard that the second aunt wanted to cook egg custard for Xiao Niuniu, he hooked his greedy worms.

Brother Lin and Da Niuniu are five years old and the other is three years old. Children are always greedy. Da Niuniu bit her finger and looked at Mrs. Wang with her big watery eyes like black grapes. She is not cute, but Mrs. Wang is I can bear to pretend I didn't see it.

One doll is fine, but how many eggs would there be if there were three or four?She also wanted to keep the eggs for Brother Qing's health.

Ding pouted, if he was really generous, he would give each child a bowl. He wanted to show his generosity, but he was reluctant to let other children stare at him. Only Wang could do this on the surface.

But she doesn't plan to say anything now, anyway, Mrs. Wang will reveal her purpose at that time, and it's not too late to say it, so Mrs. Ding directly took Fu Geer to comfort him: "Go home, mother will steam for you, let's go home today I'm here to be a guest."

Although Brother Fu was rather spoiled, he was taught well by the Ding family, and he didn't mess around, and would cry if he couldn't get it, so he withdrew his gaze, and was dragged back into the room obediently by his mother.

Mrs. Liang also couldn't understand Wang's behavior. The little girl was one year old, and the big girl was only three years old, so they didn't want to give up another egg. Why did they pretend to be so generous before?
The people of the Zhou family are smart and good at observing words and expressions. When they saw such a scene, they immediately came out to smooth things over, "Little Niuniu is too small to eat much, so how about big Niuniu and Xiao Niuniu eat together later?" He said and looked at Da Niuniu and smiled. .It's not that she likes Wang so much, it's just that this matter was caused by her daughter, and it would be bad if she got involved.

"Give it to my sister so that she can grow up." Da Niuniu meant to give it all to her sister so that she could grow up quickly, and people's hearts melted from her sensible appearance.

"Da Niuniu is so good!" Mrs. Zhang did not forget to praise the child, "Da Niuniu is a good sister."

Being praised by her own mother, Big Niu Niu was very happy, her smiling eyebrows were crooked, and she was so cute.

This stubble is revealed.

It is quite harmonious when eating, men and women sit at separate tables, the men drink some wine, and the women are busy with the children to eat well while not forgetting to take care of the children, because there are outsiders, For the first time, Mrs. Wang let Mrs. Tian also sit on the table.

Mrs. Tian is strict in doing things, with a submissive attitude, she will not feel wronged if she is not allowed to serve at the table, and she will not be flattered if she is allowed to serve at the table.

No one said anything at the beginning of the meal. Even if Mrs. Wang wanted to make them bleed, she would only open her mouth when she was about to eat, otherwise, the conversation would collapse at the beginning, and what should I do if they just leave without eating?
Let's talk about it when everyone has eaten enough. They have already eaten so much and they are embarrassed to say nothing.

If it was Wang herself, even if she had eaten it, she would not have the idea of ​​eating people's short mouths. It must be something or something, and she would never want to take advantage of her.

But she is willing to be embarrassed by what others think, and she will feel that she should give corresponding compensation after eating other people's food. This is a very strange phenomenon, just like a person who himself is not a good person, but he believes that others are. Like good people.

So when everyone had eaten enough, Mrs. Wang began to complain, "Oh, the family hasn't eaten meat for a long time." Mrs. Wang sighed while picking up a piece of fat.

Ding and the others began to roll their eyes angrily, telling a lie if they wanted to, and you said that you haven't eaten meat for a long time after the new year, you are lying!Don't be so perfunctory!Lies are so untechnical, too unprofessional, bad review!

"It's not a big deal." Ding paused on purpose, and Wang looked at her in surprise. She didn't expect Ding to be the first to agree with her, but it's good to have someone agree, and the next sentence will be easy to say .

But Mrs. Ding didn't even look at her, and then said: "I'm tired of eating during the Chinese New Year, so I want to eat something lighter." Then he looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Second sister-in-law, are you too?"

Wang stared at Ding with wide eyes, only then did she realize that Ding was here to dismantle her own platform. What she didn't expect was that Ding would interpret her meaning in such a way, and was blocked for a while. Unable to speak, Liang and the others felt internally hurt from laughing while watching such a scene.

"Our family can't compare with yours. We didn't buy much meat during the Chinese New Year." Wang said angrily.

"How is it possible?" Ding said pretending to be surprised, "At that time, Li Qingshan hunted a wild boar and sold pork at Su Bai's house. Buy some?" Then he looked at her with a look of "I don't believe it's cheap, you don't want to take advantage of it".

Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Mrs. Liang interrupted, "How did I hear that you bought a lot of young and old? Could it be that I heard wrong? No way, Su Bai's family are real people, and they won't lie."

As soon as Liang shi opened his mouth, he blocked Wang shi's way of retreat, and Ding shi couldn't just let Ding fight alone, anyway, they were allies too, right?

Only at this time did Wang realize that he had found such a lousy topic as a foreshadowing. Although he was blocked and couldn't continue, who was Wang?That's not going to stop until the goal is achieved, so I quickly changed the subject, this time I didn't beat around the bush, and just spoke directly.

"You also know that Brother Qing is going to Fucheng to take the scientific examination. It will take a month to go there. The round trip expenses, food and lodging expenses in Fucheng, and visits to teachers and classmates all cost money. Our family has been in the past few years Just providing for him to study has already exhausted the savings of the family, and this time there is really no other way."

In the end, Mrs. Wang still had a bit of sincerity, but it was indeed not easy, but it would be no problem to help appropriately. I was afraid that Mrs. Wang would be greedy and want to make the two of them big.

This is indeed what Mrs. Wang really thinks, and Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Liang, who know Wang as a person, are not so easy to be fooled. No matter how pitiful you say, no one's money is blown by strong winds, and it is not for nothing. Give others money while living a hard life.

Seeing their unmoved appearance, Mrs. Wang felt bitter in her heart, and she had to say nice words, "You are brother Qing's aunt and aunt. If brother Qing wins a Juren, he will definitely not forget you." , even if he forgets, I will not be willing, I must teach him to be filial to his elders."

This is almost asking for money, Ding put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Wang and said seriously: "Okay, second sister-in-law, we also know what you are going to say, I have discussed it with my sister-in-law before. At that time, the family gave Brother Qing five taels of silver for food on the road. As for more, we didn’t have much. You also know that everyone is digging food from the ground. There is nothing left, and there is still a big family to support, and it is not easy for any of us."

In fact, this is also true. It is enough for them to be benevolent and righteous if they can take out five taels of silver, but Mrs. Wang knows that this is a lot of taels of silver when she is at home. up.

But Mrs. Wang didn't believe Mrs. Ding's words. You must know that Li Shusheng is a carpenter, and there is no shortage of work all year round, so Mrs. Ding's family is the most affluent, and five taels of silver is nothing at all.

Even Liang's two sons have errands in the county, and they earn more than one or two taels of silver every month, and their money is very loose.

So when they heard that their family only gave five taels of silver, Wang was a little dissatisfied. It's so little, how can I send the beggar?Fortunately, I even arranged a table of meals for them to entertain them.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's expression, Mrs. Liang knew that this younger sibling was too small. She curled her lips in her heart, thinking that this was too little. She really was greedy. If there was something wrong with her family, she would give out a tael of silver. Can feel distressed to death!

Naturally, Ding also knew Wang's temperament, so she didn't bother with her at all, and if her man didn't ask her, she wouldn't want to give a penny.

When everyone is silent, the children don't care so much. Although they feel that the atmosphere is not right, it has no effect on Fu Ge. Then Fu Ge grabbed Ding's sleeve and said, "Mom, I want to eat custard."

"Let's go home and eat again. Do you know how many eggs you can buy with five taels of silver? You can eat them for several years, but this meal costs five taels of silver. You still want egg custard? Mom can't eat it at your second uncle's natal house." Let's go home and eat." Ding's words were full of sarcasm and yin and yang.

Although Brother Fu didn't know why his mother said that, but when he heard that there was custard at home, he stopped making trouble, while Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed, and Mrs. Tian had an ugly face.

Mrs. Liang didn't want to say anything, she was happy to see Mrs. Wang embarrassed, and finally broke up unhappy.

So the next day, it was reported that a meal at Wang's family cost five taels of silver, but this child couldn't eat custard, and the words spread vividly, as if he was in it.

After hearing this, Li Qing also became dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang. He was so proud of himself that he felt that he had lost face.

When Su Zi went back to her natal home and listened to what Su Lan told her, she thought it was funny. You could almost imagine the scene at that time. Wang was stingy and wanted others to be generous to her. How could there be such a good thing?
